Vallejo Admirals rally late to beat Sonoma

The Vallejo Admirals came back from a 4-1 deficit Thursday night to defeat the Sonoma Stompers 6-4.

The Admirals (18-15) tied the game 1-1 in the top of the second when catcher Isaac Wenrich hit a single up the middle to drive in a run.

Wenrich tried to give the Admirals the lead in the top of the fourth with a long drive but outfielder Reid Chenworth robbed him of a home run.

Admirals pitcher Troy Marks seemed to be in total control early as she struck out the side in the bottom of the second on nine pitches.

Chenworth had showed off his glove earlier in the game but in the bottom of the fourth he showed off his bat when he launched a three-run homer to make the score 4-1 Stompers.

The Admirals tried to claw back in the top of the seventh when P.J. Phillips drove home Tillman Pugh, who had tripled earlier in the inning.

Gonsalves left after the inning, having given up just two runs in seven innings.

The Admirals then cut into the lead a little more in the eighth when Jordan Hinshaw had an RBI single to center off reliever Jesse Garcia. Elvin Rodriguez tied the game up at 4-4 for the Admirals a few moments later with an RBI single up the middle. They then took the lead at 5-4 in the same inning on a Stompers throwing error.

Vallejo added to the lead in the ninth when Hinshaw doubled home Carlos Martinez.
